Most of my photographic efforts occur during active vacations, hiking and cycling. I used the Sony for a 2 week hiking trip in the Canadian Rockies this and found it to be very heavy and cumbersome. For a trip to Newfoundland later in the summer, I left it at home and took a Canon G9 instead which worked exceptionally well. The Lumix G1 looks like a perfect compromise for my type of photography and I am seriously considering trading in my Sony and lenses for this system.
